CN, Unifor reach tentative pacts

CN and Unifor have reached new tentative collective agreements covering 3,000 CN employees, the Class I announced yesterday.

The agreements cover workers in various departments including mechanical, intermodal, facility management and clerical, CN officials said in a press release. Details of the agreements will not be released publicly until they are ratified.

"CN has always been committed to achieving negotiated settlements to improve the conditions of this important group of employees as we continue our essential work moving the North American economy. We look forward to future collaboration with Unifor," said CN President and CEO Tracy Robinson.

Meanwhile, CN last week announced that the Diversity Dividends Collective, of which CN is an inaugural member, has been recognized by the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards 2023 as a finalist in the “ESG Enablement Through Technology” category.

The award recognizes successful initiatives that advance environmental, social and governance causes within an organization or for the broader good through the use of technology, CN officials said.
